Open QJhh UTG 8k Rec peels UTG1 and we are HU.
Flop. QJ7ddx. We bet 10k. He calls. Think our bet size here is an error on such a wet board v this specific opponent I should just potted
Then 3x. We check as from previous hands he likes to bluff and will also bet with Q/J. He checks back.
River
. We bet 13k he raises to 31k and we talk to him. Make it obv we have a strong hand and he's not concerned so we fold. He shows K8dd.
He was a 10c qualifier and we had been chatting and friendly so way less likely to bluff me anyway.
Very next hand free roll qualifier limps. Unknown but assumed decent player (he has been chatting about hands at the table to a very good reg) goes to 10k. We call 55 BB. Limper folds (shocked about that)
Flop AQ5 rainbow. I check he bets 12.5k. I decide to call as no real draws and reckon he can barrel on so many turn cards.
Turn 7x check check
River Kx I lead 18k which is a similar size to the last river lead I did. He tank raises to 48k. I don't think I can ever fold here given the last hand plus I can be value betting so many weakish hands here. He's just seen me bet fold 2 pair and tbh on this board and action I rarely have more than a 1 pair hand. I call and obv JT.
We then folded the last 15 mins.
As I said I'd have properly steamed them in if it was all my own action as such a great comp and I played good but 18 bigs and day 2 is fine. It'll feel better in the morning!
